Donald Trump’s sons testified in the family’s fraud trial in the Manhattan Supreme Court, rejecting any knowledge or involvement in claims that inflated their father’s net worth by billions. Shortly before noon, Eric Trump took his brother’s place in the witness box and claimed he didn’t know “anything” about his father’s financial accounts until the New York attorney general brought the case to trial. Later, he had to admit that he knew. However, Eric made sure to talk to the media and criticize New York Attorney General Letitia James on his father’s behalf, while the embattled ex-president was not there in court last week to hear Trump Jr. and Eric’s separate statements.

We have one of the greatest companies anywhere in the world. We employ thousands of New Yorkers. These people, they make their living relying on us! They feed their families, relying on us! And because you have an attorney general who plays politics with everything, you’ve seen that time and time again.
